The recent discoveries that a neuron in the vertebrate retina may contain more than one neuroactive substance (transmitter or neuropeptide) raise the possibility that within each class of neurons, every morphologically and physiologically distinct cell type may be uniquely identified and categorized by the neuroactive substances that it contains. This article examines the evidence to-date for such a conjecture and discusses some of its potential applications and implications.
最近的发现表明，脊椎动物视网膜中的一个神经元可能含有不止一种神经活性物质（递质或神经肽），这就增加了一种可能性，即在每一类神经元中，每一种形态和生理上不同的细胞类型都可能通过其所含的神经活性物质被独特地识别和分类。本文研究了迄今为止支持这一推测的证据，并讨论了其一些潜在的应用和影响。
